Then he could reverse the process by selling before it went down and so snowball into fortune. It was a daydream, but a harmless one. Satisfying myself Consolidated Pemmican was bumbling along at its low level, I reluctantly prepared to resume Miss Francis' pump.
I found myself gradually sinking into a state of mental atrophy, perilous alike to physical and moral health; and, after a fruitless struggle of some months with these morbid longings for old habits and associations, I determined to quit the army, and to realise the favourite daydream of my early youth a walk through Italy; hoping, by two years of travel and incessant intercourse with men and books, to gain a fresh hold upon life and happiness, and to repair, in some measure, those deficiencies in my education, which the premature adoption of a military life had necessarily involved.
Hutchinson Port, absorbed in slumber, did not perceive that the slow motion of the train gradually became slower, and finally entirely ceased; and even Grace, lost in her pleasant daydream, scarcely observed that the unsightly buildings of a little way-station had thrust themselves into the foreground of her landscape for this foreground she ignored, keeping her blue eyes serenely fixed upon the great brown mountains beyond.
Lloyd did not put the rest of the delightful daydream into words, but just stood thinking about it a long time, until her expression grew very sweet and tender over a little romance which she dreamed might grow out of her plan to give Agnes pleasure. "If I only had thought of it in time to have had a Valentine pah'ty," she exclaimed aloud, "that would have been the very thing.

The two teams struggled on until after 8 p.m., when at last Scott signalled to camp. How tired we were almost cross.
Miss Thankful was only awakened from her daydream by the entrance of the negro farm-hand, Caesar. "Fo' God, Missy Thankful, them sogers is g'wine into camp in the road, I reckon, for they's jest makin' theysevs free afo' the house, and they's an officer in the company-room with his spurs cocked on the table, readin' a book."

He was just slipping off into a chilly doze when he was wakened by the taxi driver opening the door and shaking him by the arm. "Here we are, maybe." Perry looked out sleepily.
He was naturally interested in the matter, for he had himself published a volume of lyrics about London under his pseudonym of "Daisy Daydream." "Take," said the critic, "the typically feminine lines, 'To the Inventor of The Hansom Cab' 'Poet, whose cunning carved this amorous shell, Where twain may dwell." "Surely," wrote the King, "no one but a woman could have written those lines.
